Slow the descent speed
See Enroute Descent
Below 10,000 ft you are typically limited to 250 kt indicated (a US rule that much of the world mirrors in some form, though not universally). This forces a deceleration around 10,000 ft whether the profile wants one or not, so plan for it rather than discovering it.

The threshold, the flare and the hold-off. The approach that led to it is the stabilisation gates below.
Two stabilised approach gates, each with seven checks, where the approach path is 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.
At the 500 ft gate: off the centreline.

Plan view — the first 5,000 ft of the 9,200 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 1,541 ft touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with the Airbus A320 taxiing from the parking area to the runway at Louis Armstrong New Orleans International Airport, taking approximately 5 minutes to cover less than 1 nautical mile. The departure roll took place on runway 29, with the aircraft lifting off at a speed of 156 knots. The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 47°F and a wind speed of 0 knots at 120°.
As the aircraft climbed away from the airport, it began its enroute climb, which started approximately 1 mile west of the airport. The climb took place from an initial altitude of 990 feet above sea level to a maximum altitude of 37,009 feet, an increase of 36,019 feet in 22 minutes, covering a distance of 138 nautical miles. The climb was followed by a level cruise, which began approximately 4 miles northeast of Mount Vernon, Alabama, and lasted for 32 minutes, covering a distance of 982 nautical miles.
The enroute descent started approximately 2 miles southwest of Norwich, Connecticut, and took place from an altitude of 37,004 feet to 6,115 feet, a decrease of 30,889 feet in 12 minutes, covering a distance of 73 nautical miles. The descent was followed by another level cruise, which began approximately 1 mile southeast of Winthrop, Massachusetts, and lasted for 7 minutes, covering a distance of 20 nautical miles.
The final descent took place overhead Andover, Massachusetts, and involved a decrease in altitude from 6,003 feet to 1,283 feet, a decrease of 4,720 feet in 7 minutes, covering a distance of 16 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final approach to runway 15R at Logan International Airport, approaching from the northwest at a heading of 135.0° and at an altitude of 1,257 feet above ground level.
The landing took place on runway 15R, which had a length of 9,200 feet. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was slightly above the target speed at 138 knots. The touchdown point was 177 feet beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed was 127 knots, which was considered good. The touchdown rate was smooth at -108 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 13 feet from the centerline.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 18°F and a wind speed of 4 knots at 300°, with a crosswind of 1 knot and a tailwind of 3 knots. The total landing distance was 3,903 feet, which was 42% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was very good. The aircraft then taxied to the parking area, taking approximately 5 minutes to cover less than 1 nautical mile.
The total flight distance was 1,237 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 92 minutes. The aircraft used a total of 15,299 pounds of fuel during the flight.
The Airbus A320 successfully landed at KBOS Logan International Airport on runway 15R, achieving a score of 99.7%. The aircraft approached the runway from the northwest, heading 135.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,257 feet above ground level (agl). The landing was executed with good threshold height, indicating that the aircraft was properly configured for landing.
The threshold speed was slightly above the target speed of 138 kt, which is a minor deviation but still within acceptable limits. The touchdown point was 177 feet beyond the touchdown zone, which is a relatively minor deviation. However, the touchdown speed of 127 kt was good, and the touchdown rate of -108 fpm was smooth, indicating a controlled descent.
The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 13 feet from the centerline, which may require some adjustments to the aircraft's alignment during the approach. The local weather conditions were relatively calm, with a temperature of 18°F and winds of 4 kt at 300°. The crosswind was minimal at 1 kt, and the tailwind was 3 kt, which may have contributed to the slight misalignment.
The total landing distance was 3,903 feet, which is 42% of the runway length. This is a relatively short landing distance, indicating that the aircraft was properly configured and the pilot executed a smooth landing. The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the pilot maintained control of the aircraft during the rollout phase.
Overall, the landing was successful, and the pilot demonstrated good skills and control during the approach and landing phases. However, the slight misalignment and above-target threshold speed may require some adjustments to the approach and landing procedures.
